OFIRNOFLAST, A FIRST-IN-CLASS NEK7 INHIBITOR, INDUCES ROBUST TRANSFUSION INDEPENDENCE AND MULTILINEAGE HEMATOLOGICAL IMPROVEMENT IN LOWER-RISK MYELODYSPLASTIC SYNDROME(LR-MDS): PHASE 2 RESULTS
(EHA 2026)
- "Ofirnoflast (HT-6184) is the first-in-class, oral, allosteric inhibitor of NEK7, a scaffold protein essential for NLRP3 inflammasome assembly...It also had an exceptional safety profile with no treatment-related serious adverse events. These results represent the first clinical validation that NEK7 blockade can durably suppress the NLRP3 inflammasome and restore hematopoiesis across all MDS subtypes, supporting Ofirnoflast as a transformative treatment for this high-unmet-need population."

Clinical Efficacy of the Novel Oral NEK7 Inflammasome Inhibitor Ofirnoflast in Erythropoietin-Refractory Lower-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes With High-Risk Mutational Profiles: A Case Series
(SOHO 2026)
- "Ofirnoflast demonstrated potent, multilineage hematologic improvement in ESA-refractory lower-risk MDS. Notably, CRs and clinical benefits were observed across diverse, high-risk molecular profiles (TP53, SF3B1, JAK2). Across the study, 55% of patients (10 of 18) achieved RBC-TI ≥8 weeks and 70% of responders (7 of 10) maintained TI ≥16 weeks (median duration, 28 weeks)."

Multilineage Hematologic Improvement in Lower-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes: Clinical Significance of Platelet and Neutrophil Recovery With Ofirnoflast, a Potent Allosteric Inhibitor of NEK7/NLRP3 Assembly
(SOHO 2026)
- "Ofirnoflast demonstrated meaningful multilineage hematologic activity in LR-MDS, with confirmed HI-N and HI-P in eligible patients, and durable responses lasting more than 200 days. The co-occurrence of erythroid improvement among HI-N and HI-P responders suggests a broad effect on hematopoietic progenitors across lineages. These findings support ofirnoflast as a potential multilineage-active agent in LR-MDS and warrant further evaluation in larger studies."

Allosteric NEK7 Inhibition With Ofirnoflast (HT-6184) Suppresses Mitochondrial Stress, Reduces Systemic Inflammatory Cytokines, and Attenuates Clonal Expansion in Lower-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome
(SOHO 2026)
- "Ofirnoflast produced significant suppression of NLRP3-associated inflammatory and mitochondrial stress biomarkers, with evidence of clonal attenuation in a subset of LR-MDS patients. These data provide the first in-human validation of allosteric NEK7 inhibition as a potential disease-modifying strategy in MDS and establish pharmacodynamic biomarker correlates of clinical response, supporting further clinical development of ofirnoflast.

(ASH 2025)
- P2 | "Ofirnoflast (HT-6184) is an oral, first-in-class allosteric inhibitor of NEK7 currently under evaluation in a Phase 2 trial in patients with low-risk MDS and symptomatic anemia (NCT07052006)...These findings suggest that ofirnoflast may restore endogenous anti-clonal immunity through inhibition of inflammasome signaling. Further evaluation in larger TP53-mutant MDS cohorts is warranted to confirm these preliminary observations and assess the potential of ofirnoflast as a targeted, immune-modulating therapy."

Ofirnoflast suppresses heme-induced inflammation, representing a novel therapeutic strategy for hemolytic anemias
(ASH 2025)
- "Inhibition of the NLRP3inflammasome has been shown to mitigate inflammation and cell death in preclinical models ofhemolytic anemia.Ofirnoflast (HT-6184) is a novel, orally bioavailable small molecule that selectively inhibits NLRP3inflammasome activation by allosteric modulation of Nek7, a critical scaffolding protein forinflammasome assembly...Ofirnoflast potently inhibits heme-induced activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in vitro,reducing both inflammatory cytokine release and pyroptotic markers. These findings supportcontinued investigation of Ofirnoflast as a promising therapeutic approach in sickle cell diseaseand other hemolytic anemias characterized by NLRP3-mediated inflammation."

- P1 | "Furthermore, genetic ablationof IL1R1 in Tet2-mutant cells or pharmacologic inhibition of IL1R1 in primary MDS/CMML patient-derivedcells with Anakinra abrogated the anti-leukemic effects of ofirnoflast, indicating that its therapeuticactivity is primarily mediated through suppression of chronic inflammation driven by the IL-1β/IL1R1 axis.In vivo, ofirnoflast treatment reduced leukemic burden by ~3-fold in both MDS/AML (n = 5, P = 0.005) andCMML (n = 7–9, P = 0.04) patient-derived xenograft models. scRNA-seq of treated xenografts revealed adual mechanism of action: (1) suppression of inflammatory and proliferative signaling pathways (NF-κB,TNF, and cell cycle genes), and (2) induction of apoptosis and erythroid differentiation programs,corroborating both molecular and functional in vivo and in vitro findings.Translating these insights to the clinic, a Phase 1 trial (n = 64; NCT05447546) in healthy volunteersshowed that ofirnoflast significantly reduced serum levels..."
